Abstract: A method for computer numerically controlled processing may include generating a user interface to enable the configuration of an edge treatment. The user interface may also be generated to enable the configuration of a design corresponding to a combination of the first object and the second object generated by applying one of a plurality of Boolean operation. A computer numerically controlled machine may be configured to deliver an electromagnetic energy in order to effect, in a material, one or more changes corresponding to the edge treatment and/or the design configured by the user. For example, the one or more changes corresponding to the edge treatment may include a variable depth engraving along at least a portion of a perimeter of a material.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a head attached to a gantry. The head includes an optical assembly to focus a laser beam onto a surface of a material to be processed by a CNC machine and a measurement assembly with emitter(s) and detector(s), where the detector(s) are for measuring intensity of light emitted from the emitter(s) and reflected off the surface of the material. Processors are configured to (i) determine a material type of the material, (ii) determine a distance between the optical assembly and the material surface based on (a) measurement(s) of the intensity of the light emitted from the emitter(s) and reflected off the material surface, and (b) measurement parameter(s) associated with the determined material type, and (iii) control focusing of the laser beam onto the surface of the material based on the determined distance between the optical assembly and the surface of the material.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein include one or more computing devices configured to obtain one or more images of a material that has been placed at least partially within a CNC machine, where the one or more images are captured via one or more sensors associated with the CNC machine, determine one or more edges of the material based on the one or more images of the material, and determine whether the material can accommodate one or more placements of a design on the material based at least in part on the one or more edges of the material. Some embodiments additionally or alternatively include determining one or more material margins based on the one or more material edges, and determining whether the material can accommodate one or more placements of a design on the material based at least in part on the one or more material margins.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include rendering systems configured to: (i) after receiving a request from a user to render a creative work associated with a non-fungible token, determining (a) whether the user owns the non-fungible token and (b) a current render count corresponding to how many times the creative work associated with the non-fungible token has been previously rendered; and (ii) when the user owns the non-fungible token and the current render count indicates that the creative work has been previously rendered fewer than a maximum render count corresponding to a preconfigured total number of authorized renderings of the creative work associated with the non-fungible token, (a) obtaining an implementation file corresponding to the creative work, (b) rendering the creative work according to the implementation file, and (c) updating the current render count to reflect another rendering of the creative work.
